Any RE tool that would let me draw patterns to turn effects on/off like Effectrix?

Hi, I like Effectrix (VST), but I'd really like to do something similar in RE.

Is there any RE that lets me draw patterns on a grid for when to turn on/off various Effects?

Effectrix lets me do this to create patterns of stutter-effects (etc), but I'd like a better way to rhythmically turn on/off effects *within reason*.

Maybe matrix hooked-up to something? Thoughts?

Several things spring to mind.

The stuff that i grab first for this job is either shape
Or if i want everything in one device Synchronous
A hooked up matrix also works ofcourse

While I don´t own Propulsion myself I think it could do the job nicely when the effects are put into a combinator and Propulsion´s CV outputs are connected to the combinator CV inputs. The inputs are then routed to the effect´s on/off or dry/wet parameters in the combinator programmer.

All already mentioned, and if you like some random, use LFOs from Malstroem, Ammor or whatever and combine the through Lolth

I own Propulsion - but I didn't know I could use it to control an effect being ON/OFF - I thought I could just use it to trigger instruments to play a note...

there's so many methods for that...
I use a glitch effect RE if too lazy to use an octorex.

maybe not the solution you're looking for, but I don't think anything beats automating the bypass switches and dry/wet knobs of effects units. I know other people love living inside the rack, but the sequencer is my best friend haha

Ok, I think this is what I'll go with. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Well, the gate outputs are just like an on/off value. A gate trigger could not work well since it it is too short (e. g. in Redrum) I guess but in Propulsion you can set the length of the gate signal to certain grid lengths. It´s just like if you would use multiple Matrix devices. I´d prefer using Propulsion for the sake of compactness if I´d own it.
